GAP Sues Kanye West For $2 Million ‘It’s Your Mess’
Kanye West has been hit with a lawsuit over his GAP collaboration, with the company suing the rapper for $2 million. The lawsuit claims West and his brand Yeezy are to pay for any damages, with GAP alleging that West has failed to fulfill his contractual obligations. The lawsuit has been described as a “mess” by GAP.West and GAP announced a partnership in the past for Yeezy’s clothing line with West set to design and develop Yeezy Gap apparel. The partnership was seen as a major win for both parties, with West’s Yeezy brand becoming the first celebrity-backed label to be featured in GAP stores.However, the partnership appears to have hit a roadblock, with GAP filing a lawsuit against West. GAP is seeking damages of $2 million from West, over the cost to restore the premises. Things are now nasty between the former business partners.According to TMZ, Gap wants Kanye to foot the bill for any damages it might incur in a lawsuit it’s facing because Gap feels Ye and his company is responsible for putting them in this mess. As for that mess, Gap is being sued by Art City Center, a company that says it owns a building in downtown L.A. that was leased to Gap as a storefront for Kanye’s Yeezy clothing line.Gap also stated its contract with Kanye called for Gap to not be held liable for any claims like this that might be brought against them. The company is going after Kanye for more than $2 million … which includes the amount the company thinks it’s about to get dinged for over the Yeezy store — plus a little extra for Gap’s attorneys’ fees, of course, and all according to the document TMZ obtained.West has yet to comment on the lawsuit, but GAP is going all the way against Kanye. It remains to be seen how the lawsuit will play out, but it is clear that West and GAP are in a difficult situation. The lawsuit has been described as a “mess” by GAP.See more stories on Instagram at www.instagram.com/onedripmedia
